JOIN US FOR
GIVING TUESDAY

Join Propeller and participating artists in inviting fans to take action and support causes together. Your club can be ready sooner.

Get started

Let’s shape it together.

The first offer

An approved screening or recorded craft conversation. Membership is never an audition or program application advantage.

Artist participation, inventory, eligibility, points and any sweepstakes rules are agreed before launch.

Recipient and program decisions

Use the nonprofit foundation’s recipient and brand approvals, not the commercial production company’s. Protect creator rights and separate donations from selection into programs.

Agree on gift amounts, costs, payment routing, consent, responsibilities and reporting access before collecting donations.

Mission and source

Founded by Lena Waithe, Hillman Grad Foundation supports creatives from underrepresented communities, including through its Mentorship Lab.

Hillman Grad Foundation
